Perhaps ThinkofOne would like to elucidate on this a little further and offer us his sage wisdom that we may improve ourselves. Perhaps he might refer us to some of the papers he has written. It surely isn't just his latest stock ad-hom! 🙂

And at least half of those times he mentioned it, he prolly had a point.

I don't agree, I cannot think of anytime recently I've seen any substantial exchange between ToO and some other posters that would not be characterized as e-bullying or a slanging match.
Particularly noteworthy is Thread 135684 which on my first viewing was only a few pages deep from the end and a cursory survey of the OP - on looking at it closer however it is obvious the guy is just heckling for a fight. The treatment he administered to Conrau K in that thread he has now meted out to me in page 9 and then from pages 11-14 in Thread 137334 "Lying is always bad -why???"
Essentially he asserts some proposition A, and then for ones every detailed counter against A with B,C,D,E,... he merely claims they have missed the point and reaffirms A again. Furthermore he makes absolutely no effort to explain how the point was actually missed (which I am often grateful for when other posters do this) - instead satisfying himself that he has comprehensively shot an argument to logical ruins merely by the supposition on his part A is true and the other guy "missed the point". If any of these have the character of nice posts then I'd question your defintion of "nice" in this respect.
I was going to suggest he is perhaps good at insulting people but I don't even think this is true. Unless he's outwardly brow-beating one of the more "gifted" people just for sh**s and giggles,
(and yes I sometimes make the occasional unsustained snipe shot if I see something mind-numbingly obtuse, or keep up the slanging match if the other guy started it - sorry! can\'t help myself sometimes)
his intention seems often to be some surreptitious effort to implant within the mind of his opponent doubt as to their intellectual fitness for any discussion with him (presumably to bolster his own ego!); but what appears to him as cleverly veiled sleights against a person's intellect and reasoning skills come across to me as oafish ad-homs with the pretention of being incisive and on target.
Perhaps you can correct me and refer me to some threads where he did actually engage somone in a debate, or finely rebut some point and subsequent counter rebuttals. Or perhaps once the shock and irritation as a result of his behaviour towards me has worn off I might find them myself though.

That one was very frustrating for me. I think there was a very important question as to what extent government can regulate a religious organisation without compromising the right to freedom. Obviously in some cases, government has a valid right to suspend religious freedom, such as in cases of national exigency. The question here is whether forcing a Catholic adoption agency to process same-sex applicants violates religious freedom. I understand that many may disagree with the arguments I raised in that thread but ThinkOfOne showed remarkable reluctance to respond to any of those arguments. Even Bbar intervened to point this out.

Firstly, I'll wait for ToO to answer, should be an interesting one.
Secondly, he seems to have a general beef against christians who dont act very christianly.
Sometimes his "rudeness" is uncalled for, but hey, I think they should be able to take it.
I guess , much like with Vishva, I dont have a problem with Thinkof . I actually like their provocative posts. But of course they should be able to back it up.
People do use ego-defense mechanisms, although sometimes its quite reasonable to do so and at other times, it is uncalled for.
I'm prolly not the best one to be engaging this topic with, I have respect for all the posters here and think of all of you as much more than just a "peanut gallery" (Freaky KBH).
There are ego defense mechanisms going off all over the place on this forum, I reckon, although I wouldn't have thought that you were high on the list of people that use these defenses. Pretty low, actually.

Neither I, Agerg or Proper Knob are Christians and yet we have been victims of his scorn.

Originally posted by Conrau KYes, I noted your reply, a couple back, I just neglected to write it up.

So your not a christian? Thats news to me.
Anyway, christian or not, ToO should be able to back up his claims.
He seems to think his points are self-evident ,but when the responder doesn't get him or agree (or whatever else), he should rephrase his arguement rather than just redirecting people to his former posts. Especially to intelligent debaters, such as yourself.

(something I \"reckon\" grounded upon my own stance with respect to organised religion and strict adherence to scripture)
that certain freedoms and privileges granted to religious organisations should be questioned anyway (potentially a bid to render the argument about religious discrimination moot) - again that's just my opinion, can't do much with it yet.
ThinkOfOne on the otherhand seems to think that "what he reckons" is sufficient machinery to undermine any argument. Indeed Karoly makes the good point that he seems to think his points are self-evident; and though I think the same is true for all of us in that what we believe individually is self-evidently true to *each of us individually* (else instead of believing it we would at the least be suspicious of it), he doesn't seem to acknowledge that different people place higher (or lower) weights on different assumptions so to render his so-called self evident truths as anything but self-evident to his opponents..

Originally posted by AgergOf course you may disagree with my arguments. I invited people to do so because I felt that there was an interesting problem of balancing religious freedom with secular authority. The point is that ThinkOfOne simply kept reasserting his contention and, when challenged, just made snide comments that I didn't understand it -- something which you too have experienced.
